Socialists kick off campaign

Trade Unionists and Socialists Coalition candidates have launched their local election campaign in Sheffield.

The alliance is standing in Burngreave, Graves Park, Gleadless Valley, Walkley and Hillsborough, with manifesto policies against cuts and privatisation of public services, and in favour of restoring weekly bin collections.

Maxine Bowler, candidate for Burngreave, said: “We need a voice of resistance in the council chambers.”
